The advisory concerning travel in Mexico was updated this week by the U.S. State Department, but the overall warnings about specific states remained the same.

The update issued Tuesday specified new restrictions on official travel by U.S. government employees.

For other visitors, the warnings have not changed since January 2018.

Level 4: The five states with the sternest “do not travel” advisory, because of kidnappings and other crimes, are the northern border state of Tamaulipas and the Pacific coast states of Sinaloa, Colima, Michoacan and Guerrero. They are shown in red on the map above.

Level 3: The eleven states for which visitors are advised to “reconsider travel” because of crime are Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Jalisco, Mexico, Morelos, Nayarit, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Sonora and Zacatecas. They are shown in orange on the map.

Level 2: In the rest of the country, travelers are advised to “exercise increased caution.”

Mexico City is Level 2, though it is surrounded by Level 3 states. The popular beach resorts of Los Cabos, Cancun and Cozumel are in Level 2 states.
